Everything I said about the Digital Monster X applies for the Digimon Pendulum Z as well: they have smaller rosters but evolutions are less linear and leveling up helps you spend more time with your Digimon.
It's such a shame though, for Pendulum Z, I got excited because they included the KaiserGreymon line but then the site says you need to connect to the other two to unlock him which is a bummer for me. I just got Nature Spirits and Virus Busters. Also, worth noting Pendulum gets really expensive after a while so I do recommend always pre-order them.
You said the Pendulum 20th was modded. Is there a language mod because if so do you think its possible to mod another device like the D-Cyber. I ask because even though the D-Cyber is already in English it has odd naming choices because It was Bandai Asia and not Bandai America. E.G. Ouryumon is called Goldramon which is the name of a completely different digimon. I just want to do name fixes if possible.
The mod for English on the Pen20 is only possible due to the names already being programmed into the device, as if Bandai initially wanted to do an English release but changed their minds. Because they left the translations in place, it's possible to simply connect a spot on the board to activate those English names. It's unfortunately not possible to inject names into a device, so other devices do not have this type of capability
I remember having mine as a kid back in the 90's. I took it to church one time and this kid asked to fight me. I regret taking my game to this day, my pet was so strong it one shotted his and then his game made him take a new egg. I felt so bad lol.
@@humulomon bro we were just under 10 at the time, we are both almost 30 but I still know the guy. Every once in awhile he will bring it up and remind me of how many days he spent crying and his dad yelled at him for crying over a toy that wasn't even broken. That is actually the memory that is the foundation to our friendship
@@alexthebest3424 20 dollars is still pretty expensive, but he wasn't even talking about that one anyway. He was talking about those 144 dollar ones and those other ones.
LITERALLY what I just did! Bought a WonderSwan years ago for Digimon Ver. WonderSwan and Pocket Fighter and never got around to buying Ver. WonderSwan until just now. Finding one with the connector is a bit pricey but we're makin' dreams come true here! ...and I bought a pile of V-Pets to fight it.
I was lucky enough to have one of the Digivice Bursts waaay back when it was selling in the us… My aunt bought it for me at a toys r us, so it was a long time ago. I still have it as a matter of fact, in perfect working condition. It has some pretty minor scratches… but considering it’s over 10 years old, and most of my childhood toys have been lost or discarded… I’m so excited to still own it.
I seem to remember the basic Digivice iC had been altered to be an adventure game like the rest of the digivices at the time, but I don’t know, is there a different between the Digivice BURST US and JP versions? I have the Japanese one which is basically just an “any evolution from any evolution is okay and also you can make your Digimon wear a silk top hat” classic vpet. It’s a very cool pet and the hand waving thing to actually go burst was so cool! Burst evolution!
I know this video is a bit old now but at 2:58 but the writing is Katana, one of the three Japanese scripts, and the words are エサ (I-Se) which means "bait" and プロテイン (Pu-Ro-Te-I-N) is literally just English word "Protein" written out in Katakana.
Man, and now I'm on a high for these... I'll get two of the cheapest ones available, but I wish I could get the others more easily. Oh well, play one thing first and then the other. I was looking for exactly this kind of info, thanks. EDIT: and I'm new to this kind of thing. Let's hope my hype pays off. Or at least gets cooled down once I got this in my hands.
I didn’t even know these were a thing til tonight lol When I was a kid I had the D-3 (Veemon’s digivice) but this is so much cooler with so many other things to do. I bought two 😅
"some people might consider the shaking a con" R u kidding?! When I was in elementary school, I had one of the anime shaped ones and shaking it was so much fun Tbh I thought shaking it was cheating and that you are supposed to walk around naturally hahaha I'm glad they still make pendulums but I don't think I want to import one
Please keep making videos! Your quality and content are fantastic. Idk why you don't have more subs. I have a 2.5k member collectors group on FB. I'd love if you joined and we could advertise you! Roman Ro's Collectible colosseum
I just got my glow in the dark 3rd series and I’m so shocked by how much I forgot I loved my fighters ones that I had before digimon and then absolutely went digimon and tomogatchi crazy, I’m about to again because the GameStop near me just put a bunch of the different waves and some Japanese digimon on a clearance and sale on top of that I’m sweeping them clean and getting one of each color from each wave and a few Japanese ones, as well as two different tomogatchis they have including a demon slayer Japanese one.
Depending on which one you have you can either freeze your digimon (the pendulum) or either have them nap (gives you three hours) or if you’re gonna be away for a while you can change the clock so their “bed time” is three hours away then put them down for a nap so you’ll get about 11 hours of not needing to care for them (on the 20th)
Love this vid, can you do one going into more detail talking about the functions of each device and what all there is to do? I'm really interested in the D2, D3, pendulum, and X2. So glad to get back into these
Just wanna thank you for the great content. Loved the anime and World 1 game as a kid and after CS came out in english it was really hard trying to figure out more of where the franchise started. Your site and videos have really helped me pick up where I left off and im now a bigger fan. Ordered my Z Nightmare Soldiers and cant wait!!
I have 20th anniversary alpamon version..and today i just receive x 2 purple version .man it look soo badasss..and the mission and area clear is so fun to play..finally bandai realize wat need to be done to attract more buyer..love them
I've been sticking with the English releases, and so far my opinion on the X devices is to only get the ones that have Digimon you want specifically, I'm not a fan of the higher difficulty of the devices, and all the random chance elements and consumable items they throw at you, once I have my favorite mons, I'm probably just going to freeze them for keeps, whereas I've enjoyed the DM20 quite a bit more as it's an easy simple device with lots of Digimon to add to your *album*, you can't pause, but the device is so easy you don't have to, the only downside to the DM20 is when you raise 2 Digimon at once, they just poop way too often, so they'll most likely die of injury from all the poop they've made than any other death condition, but this isn't a problem if you're willing to raise only one Digimon at a time, which works for me because I can have a tombstone that shows how long I've raised my previous mon. I've nearly mastered my 2 DM20 devices (completed album soon, which has taken a while with my *no cruelty* rules I've placed on myself, such as not starving them, and all Digimon must hit their final form, etc, been at it for about 9 months, and I estimate that I have about another month before I complete the album, and maxed out battles at 999, only thing left to do really is raise my mons for 99 days), and I'm considering getting 2 more so I can have up to 4 Digimon each on their own device at once, I love these things so much~ ^-^
i dont understand why people use the "gotta catch em all" tagline from pokemon on digimon, even the show made it a point that a tamer has at most 2 digimon to deal with but only one device per digimon, not one device controls them all, and if people use the cyber sleuth logic on me, they didnt have digivices, just a program that functions the same.
@@Aqsticgod I never did get them all, my new job requires too much of my focus to worry about even 1 v-pet, much less the 5 I ended up getting... I got close though~ :V
@@AqsticgodOne of the shows had a kid who had multiple digimon. I think it was called Digimon Fusion or something like that. Hated it and only remember the main Digimon being Shoutmon. Don’t remember anything else about it.
I really want the original Pendulum X... It looks so cool and I love that the die is on the side and not straight up on the LCD screen.. But damn are those expensive qwq
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate the video. My sister was able to get a hold of the Grey and Red 20th Anniversary editions, though I'm really interested in the Pendulum and X's. Kinda new so a little lost and overwhelmed with all the products out there! XD
i remember when i bought mine as a little kid and didnt know how to use it and would always ask to fight kids and my digimons would always get destroyed i felt so useless:( RIP to all my fallen digimons
I've liked Digimon for a long while now but I first knew about it years ago bc of the anime on Netflix it wasn't till like 2 or 3 years ago that I learned that they have originated as Tomogatchi, I was excited to maybe get one of my own which I have barley now bc I went target and got the 20th version for 5 bucks, I was happy but when I remembered all the other ones I've heard about I realized I wanted to collect but IDK when they might make a new series or a new design and when I go online I see that the Digimon that aren't from the current version are EXTREMELY overpriced by sellers on eBay. I want to get the Digimon x one but they're too expensive can someone tell me where to start so I can collect them, I'll worry abt merch later lmao. Edit: where can I learn about the Digimon I hear people knowing a lot of Digimon do they memorize from playing or is there some anime thing that I should know about?
Only reason I have em memorized is from years of playing with the pets, looking at the trading cards and watching the shows. WIkimon is a great place to spend a few hours if you really wanna fall down a rabbit hole, check out the visual list of Digimon there.
I have the Navy Blue Ver 20th English. It’s SUPER fun. Though I’ve learned that if you’re not attentive and miss them for more than about 2 hours than they might die. I’ve lost more than 10 Digimon because of that. Rn I’m raising a Zubaeagermon and a Coredramon Blue. I love them
Thanks for making this video, I'm new to Digimon and got an English brown 20th anniversary device just recently. I'm enjoying mine very much so far. It's fairly simple, yet a lot of fun!
I used Digimon World Championship as my vpet for the longest time. I have a DMX ver 2 and a DM20... Thinking about getting a D-Scanner or English Xros Loader but idk if they'd be worth it. Anyone own either of these? (Yes I know the D-Scanner and Xros Loader aren't technically vpets but I figured I'd ask)
I never got into Digimon as a kid. Now that I have 2 kids I was looking into virtual pets and saw that these on Amazon are like $8-$15. So I bought 2 so my older daughter and I can battle them when we are bored at a restaurant or something. Plus she loves taking care of her monster.
Generally speaking, they start dropping hearts faster after they've reached the evolution window. You can keep them alive indefinitely at this point, but it's hard! You have to really stay on top of them.
@@humulomon Also, i've heard conflicting reports that having your DigiMons consume Vitamins over Training will shorten its lifespan or even reduce its Battle competency and efficiency? How true is that theory when it involves the DigiMon Version 20ths?
@@fabianwilliams998 As far as I've been able to tell, I haven't seen anything that indicates that vitamins are worse than training, other than the fact that they increase weight. If a Digimon is 99 G, it is more likely to get injured as it is weaker at that weight, but that's the only ill effect I see. I haven't tested it SUPER thoroughly, but my Digimon always seem to start dying at the same time regardless of whether they've been given pills or trained their whole lives.
Cool video, I have a squad of 4 original version 1s which i operate as a kind of dojo battling each other, conducting experiments etc... keep one weak for stat padding... looking for versions 2, 3 and 4 to add to collection they are hard af to get hold of
Perhaps someone here could help? My friend recently got a grey English ver. 20th, and everything was going fine until she unlocked the second egg. She panicked and messed with a bunch of buttons, and ended up selecting a second Botamon egg. After that, she was afraid of messing up anything else, so she constantly checked in on them and made sure there were absolutely no care mistakes, but her second Koromon became Betamon, and now both of her Digimon are Numemon. According to her, she never lets their hunger and strength drop too low and she always puts them to bed on time. How is it possible for her to end up with two Numemon, without any care mistakes?
@@humulomon I see. Thank you for responding. She has gone over all possible care mistakes, and eliminated all of the possibilities. However, she is starting to believe that she might be blocking out memories of herself making mistakes. She says she "can't trust her own mind". ^^; Again, thank you so much for your reply.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing👍I would like to get one but I live in South Africa, would you know if there are there any sites that sell these outside of the US? Getting the Japanese version is easy but I would like to get an English version.
I'm not certain of how importing works exactly, but I know some folks in Europe have had success with just using Amazon. Try this link and see if that works for you, otherwise reseller sites like eBay may be your best bet: www.amazon.com/Digimon-Original-Digivice-Virtual-Monster/dp/B07SS621LR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=digimon+virtual+pet&qid=1566996823&s=gateway&sr=8-1
This video was so increadably helpfull. I used to watch the anime when i was very little but eventually that got replaced with pokemon and became a pokemon boy. So digimon took a backseat. But the last couple years i have really started to be facinated again by the franchise. and i always saw these things pop up here and there. i wanted to buy one but i couldnt figure out which one to get. All these 200+ dollar ones just seemed ridiculus. And every other video just assumes i know what it is, what it does and how it improved on the previeus one. But your vid was increadable. Now i feel like i at least know enough to buy one and start my slow intergration back into digimon. So thank you :D
I have the Alphamon 20th, the pendulum 20th dukemon and the blue X And I just feel like I need the Silver black and the Red X. Also the X2 is looking sooo great. I had to preorder it through a reseller... I just wanted to thank you for all your guides been using your website for the pendulum 20th just to confirm some evo paths. Great stuff! You're amazing! P.S: Getting these devices in europe is expensive... customs can hit you with and extra 30euro... I regret nothing!! OwO
A friend of mine is actually working on a video right now concerning the hacking elements, but he already has a video for changing shells if you are interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0akUj9rSNn0.html I WAS going to make a video on the hacking portion, but my first attempt went disastrously, lol. I've since become proficient at doing it, so I might make a video at some point.
When I bought my d3 in 2000 it’s was 20-30 brand new. The tech is so outdated we literally pay out the butt for no reason other than artificial supply. Shortages. We need a new age vpet. Mix digimon and Megan battle network. Being able to use nfc, accelerometer, pother peripherals we could make a digivice that can do more than the vital bracelet for cheaper.
Yep! I've been wanting an original one to go with my 20th anniversary ones (and now X version) but they're so expensive! My brother messaged me the other day and said he has both our old ones and is sending me one! 😃 Gonna make some good content with it!
Great video, I was searching for something like this. By the way, how much does the battery last in the 20th anniversary version? Also, sorry if this is a stupid question but if the battery runs out , will you be able to continue the same playthrough or is there a data reset once you get another battery?
Excuse me good sir. I see you have a 15th anniversary digivice... could you also show the power levels of the digivice like you did with the v-pets? the digivice 15th anniversary was my first digimon and I would be very excited pls
I was so hooked with the X1 and X2, i ended up with the X3 haha. I still prefer the X over the color because of the quest mode and the non linear evolution!
In the pendulum 20th, u can get a 2nd egg once your 1st get to child lvl. But for example in the dukemon ver. you get the dracomon digitama when you discover 35 digis. Can you have a 3rd digi? Does the 3rd digi only appears once one of the two die? Or how is the system?
The way it works is that there are 10 eggs on each device, but you can only raise 2 at a time. When a Digimon dies, or is absorbed in a Jogress with another Digimon, you can raise a new egg, by picking any that are available. After your first Digimon reaches the Child level, you will get to pick another egg to raise alongside it, and as you play with the device, you will unlock more eggs to choose from.
Your comment got me thinking, so I did some calculations. An average duck has a volume of 0.1m^3, a brick style digimon v-pet (like the DM20 and DMX) has a volume of 0,000044118m^3, that means that you'd need 2266 v-pets to fill the same space that a duck fills. Nobody that I know of has a pocket that big, instead they use suitcases. Now seriously, even people with complete collections only run 5 v-pets at the same time at most, that's easier to carry around in a few pockets.
Bought my Blue DM20 exactly 3 years ago, my collection has expanded a lot since, got five extra DM20 cause they're just awesome to collect and change shells, got all four versions of the DMX released in english, got all six pen Zs, got my first color recently and a japanese dm original in the glorious red/brown color.
All of the ones recommended in this video are a lot of fun all on their own! In order to reach certain evolutions you WILL need to battle, but there are preprogrammed battles on the devices themselves, so no connection is necessary. As a heads up though, there are some Digimon that can only be unlocked via connecting to other specific devices, but you can get the large majority of Digimon on each device without any connections.
what does it mean when you will get an egg which is x on it and nothing happening?....does it mean my digimon died?.....if yes why its not hatching for 2 days?
I'm looking at the version exclusive website you sent me... why is agumon greymon metal line version exclusive but also included in the all versions section?
Believe it or not, there are two different varieties of each of those Digimon. The main variety is found on all devices, but the variety based on the anime (Taichi's Agumon) is only on version A devices.
The X2 was being sold in English for a moment, but a roster mix-up caused them to become recalled. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AXLclxvsgNw.html X3 has only been released in Japan so far, Bandai has not made any announcements for an English release.
my only question is, why would you need to raise so many digimon? i dont think "how many digimon you can have" was ever part of the tagline, i feel perfectly happy just having 1, but every video ive seen makes it a point that "you have have this many digimon, and to have them all u need to get all the devices" like bruh, this isnt pokemon, you dont have to catch them all or own them all, and yeah, i dont think for a v-pet that should be a point to hammer on. but thats me.
These all will save all data (including which Digimon you've raised) whenever you need to change batteries, but always hit the reset button before swapping a battery just to be safe.
@@lee1130fromtwitter On the Pen20, many users have seen their data wiped when they just took out the battery without resetting. While this hasn't been seen happening on the DM20 and DMX, it's a safe practice regardless.
Hey I have a d3 Digivice which I loved but it has stopped counting steps, I think the shaker part must be broken it feels super loose, is there anyway to fix this :(?
Hard to say, there's a few things that could cause that, including parts becoming loose from the board to the part just failing. Unfortunately I don't have any experiencing opening up the D3, so I can't really offer any advice.
